Technical Summary
The MPLS Packet Loss and Delay Measurement protocol is defined in RFC6374.
RFC 6374 defines how to send and process MPLS performance management
responses for Loss and Delay measurement.
This document specifies the procedure to be used when an out of band
UDP/IP return path is available.
Working Group Summary
There were nothing exceptional in the working group process other than
the WG Chairs had to ask twice during the wglc to get any response at
all. I guess that this is one of those document that is of very strong interest
for a small group within the working group, while the rest of the working
understands that it need to be done, being happy that someone takes on the
work.
Document Quality
We currently are aware of prototyping, as well as plans to any implement
this specification, we have an ongoing implementation poll and the write-up
will be updated if and when we get further news.
There should be implementations since we made early allocations based
on upcoming testing.
No special purpose reviews has been necessary.
The document is well reviewed in mpls-rt and at working adoption
poll, even though the wglc gave nothing but supportive comments.
